Change of judge due to Marissa Clark (USA) being unable to fly.

RGSCV - still on at 8:30am now with Mikael Nilsson (Sweden)

VGC - will start after RGSCV replacing Marissa is Mikael Nilsson (Sweden)
Note: Labradors had had to relocate to Marjo Jaakkola (Fin) due to Mikael overdrawing on numbers.

NOTE: the lunch break will be a little longer for Mikael’s ring as he needs to judge 15 Pekes at 1pm.

Please ensure you are ready at the ring to ensure that the stewards can keep the show running smoothly

As some of our exhibitors have noted from other posts - Marissa Clark is unable to travel due to illness.

Rest assured that Sunbury Canine Club are making magic happen behind the scenes to enable a replacement judge - they will be an international judge.

I can guarantee that we will all still have fun with our dogs on the day and enjoy the company of others. So bring on the great weather and fun 🤩

ATTENTION ALL COMPETITORS!!!

The Victorian Gundog Club - Australia has been forced to CANCEL our Retrieving Trial on Sunday 23rd February due to a Total Fire Ban being in place in the Central District.

It's an extremely frustrating situation but we must abide by Dogs Victoria Regulation 3.5.20.4.4 (see https://www.dogsvictoria.org.au/media/6344/241215-regulations.pdf) which overrides the RAFT Heat Policy 10.2.27 (https://dogsvictoria.org.au/media/6252/241015-extreme-weather-retrieving-and-field.pdf)

This is not a decision that has been made lightly and we have consulted with RAFT Victoria and Dogs Victoria in making it.

Please share this info with anyone you know who was coming tomorrow and may not be on FB. I have emailed all competitors and will refund entries for tomorrow.

Many thanks for your understanding,

Sally Haynes
VGC President
